APPLICATION
Watco Butcher Block Oil & Finish is a ready-to-use product.
Do not thin. Use only at room temperature. Mix material
thoroughly before application. Stir occasionally during use.
Apply with a soft, clean cloth. Allow 6 hours dry time before
re-coating. Prior to re-coating, lightly scuff sand with #400
grit sandpaper. Allow 72 hours prior to normal use. Hand
wash surface prior to contact with food. DO NOT WASH IN
DISHWASHER. If desired, use additional coats to build a
finish. Do not apply over other finishes. When used on
objects with small openings, such as canisters, proper drying
may be inhibited when applied on interior surface.
